Colorful PowerPoint presentations with detailed drawings, micrographs, and short animations have become the standard format for illustrating the fundamental features of cell biology in large introductory classes. In this essay, we describe a low-tech tool that can be included in a standard lecture to help students visualize, understand, and remember the dynamic aspects of microscopic cell biolo...

Terroir is one of the core concepts associated with wine and presumes that land from which grapes are grown, plant habitat, imparts a unique quality specific to growing site. Additionally, numerous factors can influence yeast diversity, terroir among most relevant. Therefore, it be interesting use Remote Sensing tools help identify give helpful information about key characteristics define AOP (...

While a substantial literature on the effect of professional expertise in markets exists, consumers’ “homegrown” knowledge has received little attention in economics. We combine data from a novel valuation experiment, in which participants received information about and bid on wines sequentially, with data on participants’ wine knowledge to examine knowledge and bid updating. High knowledge par...

This essay considers the current importance of labels of origin for agro-food products as part of a biopolitics of food that relinks the local and global through an emphasis on place. The particular example of the French system of AOC labeling (appellation d’origin c # ontrol! ee) is explored in both directions, linking to the local through the concept of terroir, and linking to the global as i...

This study examines the various historical attempts to explain nisbah—the denominal adjectival appellation—al-Karājikī, of Abū al-Fatḥ Muḥammad b. ʿAlī ʿUthmān al-Karājikī, well-known Twelver Shiite theologian and jurist who studied under al-Shaykh al-Mufīd (d. 413/1022) died in 449/1057. Several biographical sources that al-Karājikī’s nisbah means “tent-maker” or “tent-seller,” evidently inter...

A total of 55 volatiles including esters (29, 52.73%), alcohols (10, 18.18%), acids (3, 5.45%), alkanes (8, 14.55%), and other components (5, 9.09%) were evaluated in five regions. Total concentrations 0.05–222.23 mg/L, which covered the highest (222.23 mg/L) (120.65 Turpan, acid (0.53 Shihezi, (1.43 others (3.10 Ili River valley.

The concept of a great scientific domain spans the traditional distinctions of science versus engineering, research versus applications, and quantitative versus qualitative methods. It focuses on understanding and shaping the interactions among a coherent, distinctive and extensive body of structures and processes. It not only includes the traditional sciences and engineering, but also mathemat...

6 Agricultural sustainability practices make the best use 7 of both nature’s resources and available technology, 8 and generally avoid those land use practices that lead 9 to greater environmental stress. There are examples in 10 some agro-ecosystems, however, where stress is vital 11 to food quality and productivity. In the case of grape 12 production, a limited amount of environmental stress ...

A flow-injection (FI) method based on analytical pervaporation was assessed for its routine use in the determination of volatile acidity in winery laboratories. The new method was compared with both the official method and the Mathieu method, which is most often used in Spanish wineries, by testing 30 different wines, including young and aged, and sweet and dry wines from Montilla-Moriles appel...

T he United States and its partners are prosecuting a protracted war against insurgents and terrorists who are animated by an ideology stemming from a radical fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. As of early 2006, the American national security bureaucracy began to use the appellation the “long war” in place of the Global War on Terrorism.
